Arbel


Arbel (Hebrew: אַרְבֵּל) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located on Mount Arbel next to the Sea of Galilee near Tiberias, it falls under the jurisdiction of Lower Galilee Regional Council. In 2014 its population was 643.
Arbel was established in 1949 by demobilized soldiers on the lands of the depopulated Arab village of Hittin, whose residents fled/were expelled during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. It was initially a moshav shitufi, but became a moshav ovdim in 1959.
